Rack-Mount Power Distribution

Our JG series rack-mount PDUs are designed for straightforward power distribution with manual control. They feature a front-panel master switch for the rear outlets but do not include integrated power sequencing or network control capabilities. For applications requiring automated startup sequences, remote IP control, or integration with control systems, we recommend exploring our more advanced RPC, RPCR, or NPAC series of products.

Our portable solutions are built on the same design principles as our rack-mount and panel products. This creates system consistency for organizations that manage both permanent installations and a mobile inventory.

Using a standardized power foundation ensures predictable electrical performance and simplifies maintenance and training for technicians. It allows your team to be familiar with the same high level of protection and reliability, whether the gear is in a venue rack or on a touring truck.

Our rack-mount PDUs are engineered with rotated rear outlets. This design orients the receptacles 90 degrees, allowing oversized ‘wall wart’ style power supplies to be plugged in side-by-side without physically blocking adjacent outlets. This practical feature simplifies rack wiring and ensures you can use every available outlet, leading to cleaner and more efficient installations.

A PD Series unit arrives on-site pre-assembled and pre-wired to your exact specifications. This eliminates the complex and time-consuming task of field-wiring individual outlets inside a rack, which significantly reduces on-site labor costs and minimizes the potential for wiring errors. With circuits and receptacles already labeled and the power harness cut to length, installation becomes a simple process of mounting the strip and connecting the power feed.

The JG Series is engineered with practical features for installers. Rear outlets are rotated 90 degrees, which allows bulky ‘wall wart’ style power adapters to be plugged in side-by-side without blocking adjacent sockets. This simplifies cable management and maximizes usable outlets.

Additionally, every unit includes an extra-long 15-foot power cord. This provides flexibility in rack placement and makes it easier to reach distant wall outlets without needing extension cords.

The SRA Series is engineered for maximum installation flexibility. Each unit ships with hardware to be configured in one of three ways: mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack (2U), stood vertically as a freestanding tower, or mounted directly to a wall.

To simplify operation, the front-panel LCD screen can be rotated, ensuring that system status and metering are easy to read in any orientation.

All our JG series rack-mount PDUs come standard with an extra-long fifteen-foot power cord. This extended length provides significant flexibility in rack placement, allowing you to position equipment where it is needed without being constrained by the proximity of a wall outlet. It also helps simplify cable management by reducing the need for extension cords.

Our rack-mount PDUs provide essential protection for connected equipment. They feature an internal Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) for basic spike and surge suppression against common voltage transients. Additionally, an onboard capacitor provides AC line noise filtration, delivering cleaner power to sensitive electronics. This provides a reliable layer of protection for commercial AV and IT gear in a simple, integrated package.

PD Series units are designed for flexible vertical mounting. Models like the PD3 include adjustable side mounting brackets that can be moved between multiple threaded locations on the chassis. This versatility allows you to position the strip precisely within the rack to accommodate your equipment layout and cable management needs. If you have non-standard rack configurations, custom mounting hardware can also be included upon request.

We offer a range of hardware to suit various installation environments. This includes precision-fit rack ears for standard equipment racks, robust wall-mount brackets for surface installations, and filler plates to ensure a clean and enclosed finish. Each component is designed to simplify the mounting process and provide a secure, professional result for your project.

Choose a 20A model like the JG 11-20A when your rack contains equipment with a higher combined power draw that exceeds the 1,800-watt capacity of a standard 15A circuit. A 20A PDU requires a dedicated 20A branch circuit with a NEMA 5-20R receptacle. For standard applications with lower power requirements, a 15A model like the JG 11-15A is sufficient and can be plugged into any standard 15A wall outlet.

Specify a wall-mount panel for centralized, high-density power distribution from an electrical closet or back-of-house equipment room. They are ideal for feeding multiple racks, lighting positions, or distributed AV zones from a single source. Rack-mount PDUs are better suited for power distribution and control within a single equipment rack. The two can be used together in a scalable, integrated system.
